Everytime I start up my computer, a message pops up on my screen.
"a service failed to start up". I´ve checked the Event Viewer and the
time service can´t automaticly start.

The service worked after I installed the SP2 ( 6 months ago), but the
error message started for about 2 weeks ago. No spesific updates were
applied at this time. When I try to start the service manually, I get
the 1300 error message (Not all privileges referenced are assigned to
the caller). I´ve searched for this message on the Microsoft ang
google webpages with no solution.

I´ve tried to change the "log on user" on the service, but then I get
a 1079 error message (Could not start the Windows Time Service on the
local computer".

Other services that use the "NT AUTHORITYLocalService" account,
starts up normaly.

Please help me :)

Change it back to system and make sure that you are logged on as a local
administrator when you try to start it. You might want to try doing a System
Restore if you have a restore point from before this started to happen and
if that does not help try running System File Checker as in sfc /scannow
though make sure you have the install disk handy. If that does not help try
running the secedit command as listed in the link below and append the
/areas services switch to the end of it. That should restore default
security settings to the services. The time service is NOT a critical
service to non domain computers. --- Steve

secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb
/verbose /areas services
